ONE FLOWER ✿ video;

[ Amalia stands in front of the video screen with her hands clasped in front of her. ]

Um, hello. This message is for the people in charge of the Tower.

I wanted to thank you for fixing all the floors back to the way they were and for even giving us new ones, and for returning our trunks. I know the things inside of them mean a lot to the people here.

I didn't know if anyone had taken the time to let you know that what you did was appreciated.

[ a brief pause ]

So, thank you.

I want to thank them too, because things like that can mean a lot to people.

Re: [Video]

[terraformagica]

I hope they'll see this. I think they can but I've never tried it before.

[heavenscorpse]

Even though I'm still mad at them for bringing me here, maybe they're not all bad?

Re: [Video]

[terraformagica]

That's what I want to think. Even people who do bad things can be good sometimes, or at least not as bad as they seem.

[ .. uuhh.. give him a moment here, he's sort of confused. ]

You're thanking those people? I thought they were supposed to be the bad guys here!

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia folds her arms. ]

Yes, I am. And we don't know that for sure.

[tsunball]

Well, if they're pulling all this weird shit on people, they're bound to be freaks. It's natural!

[terraformagica]

Well if you talk about them like that, it's no wonder they might not feel very gracious!

I do hope you're not letting them fool you Amalia...

Of course they want us to be pleased at times, even taken care of. They wouldn't want to lose their precious test subjects...

Re: [Video]

[terraformagica]

I'm not being fooled. There's nothing wrong with saying thank you when something good is done.

I don't think that's true! If we can't leave the Tower yet then they could treat us any way that they want.

[isthatashortjoke]

Willing subjects are easier to manage that rebellious ones. Those that are complacent won't question, won't seek answers and won't be poking their noses where they are not wanted.

That's how they trick you into things...

But, if you wish to thank them and such don't let me stop you, I was just... well... giving a warning is all.

Re: [Video]

[terraformagica]

Veigar, you're too negative! Those things aren't connected at all. You can still ask questions and find out answers while being polite.

[Elian's face doesn't really show anything but there's a subtle flinch for a moment before his one brow raises up.]

Yes, while it is polite to thank those in charge of keeping us here, it doesn't bode well for many others that might not agree. Are you sure you should thank them publicly like this?

Re: [video]

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia raises her chin slightly. ]

Yes, I am. I thought about it and I decided that it wasn't something to be ashamed of.

[video]

[absolute_perception]

[He blinks for a moment. He wasn't used to seeing her this way but at least she's standing up for what she believes in.]

Well, alright. If that's what you feel, I can't say otherwise. Let's just hope they listen to it.

Re: [video]

[terraformagica]

[ her voice softens a bit ]

I hope they do as well. I didn't know how else to say this to them.

Voice.

[bewareofdog]

Took 'em long enough.

Re: Voice.

[terraformagica]

I'm sure they were doing important things!

Voice.

[bewareofdog]

Whatever.

They did set everything right after all it must have done to them as well as us. I must question what they intend to have us do with a dungeon, though...

Re: [Video]

[terraformagica]

W-Well, that part I'm not sure about. But they could have restored the floors without even thinking about our trunks, so I find it hard to believe that they weren't thinking of us at least a little bit.

[Video]

[warriorscribe]

The one that oversaw us last month seems to be a good man, or a better man than the others, at least.

[beknightedheroine]

...

'K, so, if this was what you meant about how to be polite before, I am really not interested.

[terraformagica]

Someone needs to make up for all the boorish manners here.

[beknightedheroine]

Hey, hey, I may be a boor, but never boring!
